The JFHS school nurse will submit the proper paperwork to the student’s guidance counselor in order to notify teachers. This is how the proper academic accommodations are enacted.

Students must communicate with their teachers if they are limited to one test a day. Teachers are not able to determine this and the student needs to plan accordingly.

Teachers provide the clinic with feedback every week to determine if a student is progressing or regressing in the classroom.

A student must be released from academic accommodations and be “return to learn” before they can be cleared to return to PE or sports.

If a student has academic accommodations they should refrain from all sports and active play (including recreational sports) until cleared by a physician.

If at any time you are concerned about prolonged symptoms or your child is struggling with the academic accommodations please notify the school nurse.

If the student is an athlete and no longer has symptoms, the AT will complete an Exertion Protocol test over a minimum of two days. Once the Exertion Protocol is passed, the athlete will take a Post-Injury ImPACT test. If neurocognitive levels are within range of baseline, the athlete can return to play once cleared by the physician.
